Three Peaks and a Valley #2

This series, Three Peaks and a Valley refers to three positive moments and one negative moment that happens during a twenty four hour period of my life. When I’m feeling down, my mom tells me to remember one positive and one negative thing about the experience, a peak and a valley.

Three Peaks and a Valley aims to outweigh the negative with the positive.

Three Peaks and a Valley is a regular miniseries that, by sharing my own moments of joy and vulnerability I hope that you’ll think about your own.

PEAK: I was recognized this morning when I went to get an oil change at the Subaru dealership. The woman behind the counter remembered my face from when I had my car maintenance done at the Chrysler dealership a town over. My Chrysler is long gone (RIP Linus) but the woman and I high fived several times.

PEAK: At New England Public Radio I watched the window washers spray the other side of the window I was working at. The rebounding mist formed a rainbow and droplets raced each other down the glass. Then the men used a big squeegee to wipe off the moisture. It was oddly relaxing to watch. Awesome.

PEAK: I wore red lipstick today. Red lipstick makes me feel confident. This particular brand smells pleasantly of vanilla and I continually fought the urge to lick it. (E.L.F, Razzle Dazzle Red). Get this though–it costs $3.00 and performs better than any $15 lipstick I’ve bought. This formula has a little shine, but the line does have other shades with a matte formulation. I’m also wearing the pomade from the E.L.F. eyebrow kit in dark ($3.00) as well as the e.l.f. liquid eyeliner ($2.00… two freaking dollars). This post is not sponsored, although I wish it was. I just love a good deal.

VALLEY: I had a weird headache this morning at the base of my neck that made my eyes hurt.

Give ’em the ol’ razzle dazzle

BONUS ROUND!

Note about my makeup… I do not use brushes and I consistently use old, cheap crap I find laying around. I am not a beauty expert but if you really want to know, here’s what I did:

-Garnier Skin Active Anti-Sun Damage Sunscreen

-A shit load of Tea Tree Oil. Just put way too much on until you’re actually a slip and slide. Drink a coffee. Let it sink in.

PEAK: Despite this being the seventh anniversary of my mother’s passing (death sounds so harsh but it is what it is) I have had a quiet, pleasant, tear free day. It is not too hot and not too cold and I have clean laundry.
PEAK: I went to pick up some yarn for my sister and found some pretty awesome yarn with which to make a scarf. Don’t kid yourself, winter is around the corner.
PEAK: I’m sitting here writing my three peaks and a valley with my pup next to me after eating delicious Thai Fresh Rolls with peanut sauce. YUM.
Valley: I miss my mom.
